\”How do I start a short story\”? Edit
What method work best for you to start a short story? I have just had some productive use of the famed US writer Ray Bradbury\’s \”vomit in the morning, clean up in the afternoon\” method. (Author of _Fahrenheit 451_, _The Martian Chronicles_, _The Illustrated Man_, etc.) Just allow your unconscious to disable edit mode by starting with some word or phrase. I used \”waxy build-up\” yesterday and came out with a finished story that had a plot and everything.
Other people favor outlining first. Let\’s share methods and support each other\’s creative ventures in this New Year.
